A Cry in the Wild Movie Guide | Questions | Worksheet (PG – 1990) [Hatchet] is based on the famous Newbery Honor winning book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen in 1986. Challenge students to analyze Brian’s experience and evaluate his behavior and the lessons he learned. Connect Brian’s experiences and choices to what your students would’ve have done in his position. Explore the literary tool of flashbacks and discuss what value they bring to the story.

This resource consists of 12 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information. See the preview file for high resolution sample questions.

This product .zip file includes:

  • A student movie guide, PDF print version (4 pages)
  • An answer key (4 pages) is included, however, some answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning throughout the film and many questions are open-ended.
  • A Google Slides Version of the Movie Guide (A PDF with a link to make a copy of the guide to your Google Drive)
  • CCSS alignment indicating standards met, PDF (1 page – see also preview image)
    • CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.
